Album Notes & Community Reviews

Completely self-produced by Angus and Malcolm Young, 'Fly on the Wall' strips away their early 80s commercial gloss for a distinctly raw, unpolished, and abrasive hard rock sound. The album is anchored by Brian Johnson's famously buried, screeching vocals and a relentless, highly energetic barrage of simplistic, blues-based power chords. While historically divisive, it is a fiercely rebellious, rhythmically punishing rock and roll record.
